Feelin' Groovy Jam

University of Iowa

This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

There is some magic post rio grandeo.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Seattle Center Coliseum

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

I listened to this really loud and I would suggest to anyone doing the same.

Swing Auditorium

I concur. If you dig 11/2 or 11/6/77, this is some of that same vintage. Jerry couldn't sing second half of this show [and none the next night at all], so he went after it the only other way he could.
Playin' In The Band

The SBD linked from this page has the timings wrong. The following is also a SBD, but the tracks are split appropriately: https://archive.org/details/gd1978-01-06.sbd.wizard.24629.sbeok.shnf

This is great. It helps that the SBD is of such a high quality.
Sugaree
April 12, 1982
Nassau Coliseum

Many Sugarees have a minimalist 3rd solo that's really more an interlude than a solo break. This one has a full 3rd solo where Jerry plays (for lack of a better phrase) understated hummingbird for the majority until he gets into a beautiful peak episode from 10:30-11:30. Three solos: good, better, then best.
